the Anṣārī, and it is said: the Kūfī, the nephew of al-Nuʿmān ibn Saʿd. This is weak by consensus and he is not the narrator of this ḥadīth, for he is Anṣārī as you have seen, and the first is Qurashī. What led al-Mubārakfūrī to this misconception are several matters. First: that he was not attributed as Qurashī as previously mentioned. Second: that they are from the same generation. Third: that he saw in his biography in "al-Tahdhīb" that he narrated from Sayyār Abū al-Ḥakam and that Abū Muʿāwiyah narrated from him, which is also the case in this ḥadīth. He did not see the same in the biography of the first. However, if he had referred to their biographies in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl," he would have found the exact opposite regarding Sayyār, for he mentioned him among the teachers of the first, not among the teachers of this one. Had he seen that, he would not have asserted that it was the second, but would have hesitated until he came across the addition that we found in its isnād, which is (al-Qurashī). Then he would have concluded as we did, that he is al-ʿĀmirī, whose ḥadīth is ḥasan.

- "Whoever says: O Allāh, I bear witness to You, and I bear witness to Your angels, the carriers of Your Throne, and I bear witness to those in the heavens and those on the earth that You are Allāh, there is no deity but You alone, You have no partner, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is Your servant and Messenger. Whoever says it once, Allāh will free a third of him from the Fire; whoever says it twice, Allāh will free two-thirds of him from the Fire; and whoever says it three times, Allāh will free all of him from the Fire." It was recorded by al-Ḥākim (1/523) through the route of Ḥumayd ibn Mihrān, who narrated to us from ʿAṭāʾ from Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), who said: Salmān al-Fārisī narrated to us that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. He said: "Its isnād is authentic," and al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said. It has a corroborating narration from Anas, raised [to the Prophet], similar to it, restricted to the morning and evening, and its isnād is weak as I have clarified in "Silsilat al-Aḥādīth al-Ḍaʿīfah," number (1041).
